Ii 10 asserted in Washington that the
death Of Captain Eads will kill the
Tehuantepes ship railway. There does
not seem to be much ground for the
amor when it il known that the status
of the succession made by the Mexican
government il in no way affected by
the great engineers removal, since it
incladed his associates in the enter
prise, who number many men Of
wealth, and influence. and business
energy. The Providence Journal in
commenting on this says that there APP
pears no present reason for doubling
the successful construction of either the
Nicaragua canal or the Tehuantepec
ship railway, or Of soth. The faith of
tho believers in the practical feasibility
of this latter enterprise, which departs
SO radically from precedent, remains,
of course, TO Be justified by experience.
1t may be said, however, that what
ever may Or may not be the prospects
of the T~ehuantepec ship railway As an
Industrial undertaking. there is no suf-
ficient reason for doubling its entire
practicability ~ ~ engineering enter
prise, or for %supposing that the power

drifted sadly out. On the corner they
met the banks president who was HIM

the case again, and the next moment
the superior officer darted into the

RuRoPE'S PERIODICAL TREMBLE.

EUROPE'S PERIODICAL TREMBLE.
The regular monthly war cloud is
hanging over the European horizon
again, and in about the same spot
where it has appeared at regular peri
DDS for the last Eve years. Russia is
refitting her navy, and every time Rms
STA drives 3 nail in a wa ship the
sound of the hammer resounds through
out Europe. This indicates the nervous
condition Of the lettering monarchies
of the old world. They arc not only
suspicious OF each other, but they are
actually afraid of their own shadows.
III Bismarck sneeZes the whole CONT
ncnt is in = trcmor. If the English
prime minister sets his foot down hard
on the floor Of parliament Russia and
Germany 1y to arms, and if the car
blows his nose every ruler in Europe is
startled by the sound. Where there is
70 much apprehension and jealousy
and suspicion there can be no assur-
ance of a p~erpetuation Of monarchial
government on the continent Of Eu-
rope. The only question is, when Will
the beginning Of the end come. The
indications are that the first outbreak
OF war between any two of the Europ-
can powers will be the commencement
at the downfall of royalty throughout
she world.

Christian Converts from Buddhism.

/ met gentleman few days ago who has
but recently returned from residence of
several years in India. he is well educated,
and during his long residence in the land of
Buddhism he turned his attention especially
10 the effects of Christianity upon the fol-
bowers Of Gsutama. At first he was deeply
impressed by the devotion shown by the ma
tives who professed to have embraced the
religion of the western world. He found
them faithful in their attendance at the SER
vices held by the missionaries and very care
full in following out the instructions given
them by their teachers. In fact, they were,
as rule, far more devout than the members
of the European colonies.
After studying them for some time, how
ever, my friend became convinced that a
very large percentage of the apparently con-
verted natives were far from being sincere in
their protestations. While parading before
the Europeans as devoted Christians they
were secretly as faithful followers of Buddha
as even the most punctilious member Of the
Exalted Order of the Star Of India could
wish them to be. Ny friend found that the
native OF India, like the heathen Chinee, had
q great deal that was "artful and blandr
about his character, and simply pulled the
wool over the missionaries eyes in order tc
keep in the good graces of the Europeans
he explained that q native who was known
to have embraced the religion of the west en-
ioyed a great many more advantages among
the Europeans residing in India than the one
who failed TO renounce BuddhiSm.-"Ram

She Fixed His Blouse.

We had gone into winter quarters at
Charleston, w. Va. Some new recruits had
arrived for the Thirty sixth Ohio, and one of
them was finding fault with the government
for not putting more pockets in his blouse.
It happened that the wife Of Gen r. B.
Hayes was on visit to the general and was
stopping at headquarters. Some of the boys
told the grumbler that he could get pocket
put in his blouse; that Gen. Hayes kept a
seamstress at headquarters ON purpose to
patch their clothes and sew on buttons
"Yes," said one, "the general is always on
the lookout for the welfare of his men. Only
the other day be had a man arrested for sew
Ing on some buttons. The idea of soldier
patching his clothes when the general has a
woman for that purpose! If you want an
other pocket in your blouse take it to the
general; you Will find the lady there. Tell
them what you want and you will soon
get it."
He was soon on his way to headquarters,
while we watched to see the fun. The
recruit marched up and the general returned
his salute and said:
"Well, my good man, what can I do for
you?"
General, the boys told me there was a
woman here to sew for the soldiers, and I
wanted to get pocket put in this blouse"
Before the general could answer Mrs.
Hayes spoke up and said
Certainly, certainly; leave your blouse for
an hour or SO and you shall have a pocket in
it."
When the soldier returned with the pocket
in his blouse, and the boys told him who the
lady was, we realized that we had carried the
joke too far and had imposed on one Of the
best and trueSt women in tho world

MARRIAGE OF UNEQUALS.

Women More Likely Than Men to Marry
Beneath Their Intellectual Station.
The genius Of Milton never found a sweeter
theme than the ideal marriage OF our first
parents in Eden, yet he who wrote so beauti-
fully of the married state was himself tho
victim Of an unhappy marriage. Indeed,
men Of genius have. perhaps, been more un-
fortunate in this respect than ordinary NOR
tails. because, living on a higher plane OF
thought, it was more difficult for them to lind
q helpmate equal to themselves. The same is
true, although not to the same extent, OF
women of genius who have married men in
ferior to themselves in mind, because wo-
mans nature has not only more endurance,
but more adaptability in it than mans
The man soon grows impatient of the con-
versation of frivolous wife, especially if she
disturbS his mental occupations, but the wo-
man often feels pleasure in the homage of a
commonplace husband, if only he be an hon
est and considerate fellow, and with her more
than with man "pity is akin to love" Hence
it is that there are probably more clever and
highly gifted women who throw themselves
away, as the phrase is, upon good natured
simpleton, than of talented men who fall in
love with women who gre not in intellectual
sympathy with them.
The world "marrieS and is given in mar
riage," and the wedding bells ring on from
age to age increasingly, and yet how few who
witness the life contract of brides and bride
groorns stop to consider the tremendous i'm
portance of so brief a ceremony. Upon the
mental, moral and physical qualities of the
man and of the woman may depend the &C.
tions and results of actions of a succession of
human beings in generations yet to come.
The ungoverned will descends from sire to
son, and the secretiveness or aquisitiveness
uncontrolled by other qualities in the father
or the mother may make the thief, the liar
or the miser, who, a few decades hence, will
be the black sheep of the family fold. An
ungovernable temper married to an ungov-
ernable temper may beget the murderer
whom society is forced to hang for its own
protection, but who may be as irresponsible
before the tribunal of supreme justice as the
lunatic is now held to be before our earthly
courts.
1t has been said, coarsely, perhaps, in the
ears of modern refinement, but with perfect
truth, that while we take every precaution to
insure high qualities in the higher types of dogs
and horses we seem to think it a matter of
no consequence to insure noble nature to
our own offspring Magazine.
